That would be cool!

Gardner Fox's wife, Lynda, talking on the phone with her husband as she flips through papers on the desk in his home office. "These yellow sheets are all blank, Gar! Why'd you staple so many empty pages together?" The Strange Adventure that Really Happened! Script: Gardner Fox Pencils: Sid Greene Inks: Sid Greene Colors: ? Letters: Sid Greene

Yes! That room is actually pretty similar to his real home office, complete with its research cabinet and library, along with a green felted desk in the middle of the room with a typewriter on top. A less accurate version of his office shows up in Strange Adventures #140 as well. 😁

I was lucky enough to see the original art in person when I attended the "Aliens, Monsters, and Madmen: The Art of EC Comics" exhibit. Absolutely gorgeous.

That is a great panel.

Gardner Fox's dream scenario 📚

Four covers by Moldoff, including two of Flash Comics featuring the Flash and Hawkman, one of All-American Comics featuring the original Green Lantern, and an issue of Detective Comics featuring Batman, Robin, and Batwoman.

Today is the birthday of artist Sheldon Moldoff (April 14, 1920-Feb. 29, 2012). Cocreator of Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, the original Batwoman, Ace the Bathound, & more.

Similarly everyone who enjoys my writing NEEDS to read @jenniferdeross.bsky.social 's authoritative biography of comics creator Gardner F. Fox, one of the people who laid down the very foundations of what we today consider DC Comics. Fox deserves so much more respect and praise, this book is a must

This is a great collection! And a great aspiration!

You are totally fine! I agree with everything you say here. O'Neil very much believed and supported the company line. Whether he knew he was a scab or not doesn't change the fact that he functionally was.

It doesn't make it better or worse, but he didn't know it at the time. O’Neil has since said he isn’t sure what he would have done had he been aware of the full situation because he needed the money at the time.

The failed late 60s attempt to form a comic book staff union done by Gardner Fox, Bob Haney, and many other creatives at the time is one of the most important and under talked about events in the medium's history here in the United States

Strangest Sports Stories Ever Told! How could a weakling become the greatest football hero of all time? Can you imagine a gorilla baseball team that could never lose? Who were the teenagers who outplayed the basketball all-stars? What was the secret of the horseless carriage that won the Indianapolis 500? Extra! Where will the Olympic games of 3000 A.D. be held? - DC Special #7, June 1970 - reprinted stories by Gardner Fox, John Broome & Carmine Infantino w/ Joe Giella & Sid Green.

A baseball team of super gorillas barnstorm the country.

A group of eggheads replace a basketball team.

A man must win the Indy 500 to return home.

Eating special berries makes a nerd a football star.

A young Olympic athlete learns that his Olympic idol is betraying Earth to alien invaders.

Great to see how all the discourse around Professor Marston and the Wonder Women influenced the discussion here!

Thank you for sharing that! It means a lot! It’s still mind blowing that my work was even thought of. 😊

Thank you! I’m so glad to know you enjoyed it!! 😊

I know Jerry Bails started talking with the family before the first issue of Alter Ego was even published, but I don’t think he ever had any book length plans. 🤷

Her lack of care regarding comic history and the others involved in the comic world is really obvious. The chapter on Wonder Woman in my Gardner Fox bio is partially inspired by my drive to correct the record after reading her book.

It doesn’t help that I didn’t use the author’s name. I feel strongly about the ethics involved in such work, but I’m not interested in starting a feud or causing any drama.

That comment was in relation to a quote from the book.

I didn’t mean to come off as combative. I think we are saying the same things…

As a poly person myself, I do ship the movie versions of these characters and see value in the story. That said, I don’t think we need to conjecture. The two women clearly loved each other or they wouldn’t have stayed together after his death. We don’t need to know if it was sexual or romantic. 🤷

It is an unfortunate pattern how often HG Peters is erased from these narratives. And Sheldon Mayer always deserves more of a spotlight.

I can’t imagine writing a sentence where I state a subject would rather die than have their secrets revealed and then use that to salaciously conjecture because it will sell books.

The book doesn’t get everything right and I question the publishing of things that were never meant to be public information.

That is an apt comparison. I hope I never let go of the way it feels like a miracle to turn on a light switch and be able to read where ever in the house I want. So many little things you don’t think about unless you have experienced that lack…

April 6, 1926: Gil Kane, a comic book artist who co-created superheroes Green Lantern and the Atom and drew tens of thousands of pages for Marvel and DC, is born (as Eli Katz) in Latvia. The U.S. immigrant pushed the mainstream limits of comics by writing early graphic novels.

I think of my plants as more like the terrain around her, but maybe she recently heard the origin story of the Justice League and is overreacting? 😂 🤷
